The inhabitants of Stintino usually talk about their sea distinguishing between the “inside sea” and the “outside sea”. The sea on the eastern side is contained within the Gulf of Asinara and is characterised by several snow white beaches, including the very beautiful “La Pelosa” beach. The other sea on the western side is instead characterised by sheer rocks and splendid coves with emerald coloured sea.

The “Mediterranean Championship” of “latin sail” (26-28 August in all years) is probably the most important event held at Stintino. The “latin sail” is a boat characterised by a tall yardarm, whose origin date back to the Roman Empire.

The sea has obviously had a remarkable influence on Stintino’s cuisine. Sea urchins and seafood are local delicacies, as are crustaceans and “bottarga” (tuna roe), wich is prepared with a jealously kept recipe. The most famous local dish is a fish soup, made of Gulf fish with potatoes and lobster. On the theme of traditions, in Stintino, one can still find hand made carpentry, and fishing is also carried out on small boats using ancient methods. One important testimony from the past is the “Museo delle Tonnare” (Museum of tuna fish).
